Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious

Chapter 112 Magic Bullet - Spirit Ball!

The judges in the front row of the audience looked at the thick plume of smoke in the sky and sighed with regret.

From their perspective, the young man must have been seriously injured in the explosion.

"Quickly tell the proctor to prepare to send him for treatment. This young man is already very strong to get this far."

Speaker Crawford sat in the center, stroking his beard.

Seeing that all four finalists could potentially be his partners, he barely managed to suppress a smile from his lips.

The other losers from the previous round, including Eric, also believed that the outcome of the match was already decided, and Ron had lost.

Standing on the stage, Lastiros spread his arms wide, ready to pop the champagne ahead of time.

Just when everyone thought it was all over.

Swish~!

A whooshing sound came from the very top of the thick smoke, and a figure suddenly shot into the sky, breaking through the smoke barrier!

It was Ron who had used the momentum to jump to a higher altitude at the critical moment!

Seeing the figure suddenly appear in the sky, the smile on Lastiros's face froze instantly, and he was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, his astonished expression turned into a wildly joyful smile.

"So you did manage to escape the explosion after all? But..."

""

Lastiros pointed at Ron high in the sky and laughed loudly, "Now that you're in the air with nowhere to grab hold, aren't you just a sitting duck?!"

Let's see how you manage to dodge this time!

He waved his hands again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...

The giant hedgehog below roared again, and the metal needles that had re-condensed on its back burst forth, wildly sweeping towards Ron in the sky!

The councilors on the platform were delighted to see Ron unharmed, but then shook their heads in regret when they saw him fire the silver needles again.

"I thought he had created a miracle, but now it seems it was all for naught."

Ron, suspended in mid-air, showed no sign of panic as he faced the barrage of silver needles raining down from below.

He deftly flipped backward in the air, and when he reached the highest point, he was upside down.

After a brief period of airborne motion, he slowly fell with gravity, his clothes and short gray hair fluttering in the wind.

In his field of vision, both the dense array of silver needles and the magical trajectory of Lastiros below were clearly visible.

He had calculated the landing points of all the attacks, but none of that mattered. As long as he could defeat Lastiros, all these materialized silver needles would vanish instantly.

He was focused on using his six eyes to find the best shooting angle, and had no time to pay attention to the densely packed silver needles flying towards him.

Phew! ! !

Just then, the steel raptor finally emerged from the smoke, its slightly charred body hurtling towards Ron, who was falling upside down, and opened its metal claws.

At this moment, everything in Ron's field of vision went into slow motion.

He looked down, a delighted smile spreading across his face.

Not far in front of him stood the steel raptor, below him the porcupine behemoth, and behind the behemoth stood Lastiros, his face beaming with ecstasy.

At that moment, these three elements perfectly overlapped on a straight line.

He stood upside down in the air, the tip of his right index finger pointing straight down, casting a spell from [Yu Yu Hakusho - Yusuke Urameshi] that had been integrated into the panel.

【Magic Bullet - Spirit Ball (B)】

[Effect: Allows the user to freely compress magic power into the tip of their right index finger, then fire a high-speed, penetrating energy blast; its power is determined by the amount of magic power injected.]

"Got you?"

Ron's magic began to circulate, surging wildly into his fingertips.

Buzz!

His fingertips instantly emitted a dazzling, eerie blue light, which then compressed and condensed into a dense energy fluctuation.

When Rastiros below sensed the surge of magical energy emanating from Ron, his expression froze instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he had a bad feeling.

Surrounded by dense silver needles, Ron had already condensed his spirit orb and launched it towards Lastiros first.

"Ghana."

boom!

A beam of magic from Ron's fingertips descended from the sky!

The high-speed spirit ball pierced through the steel raptor in mid-air, and before it could even stop, it was blasted into fragments and dissipated into specks of light in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining force of the beam continued to fall on the hedgehog-like beast on the ground!

Click!

The enormous hedgehog-like beast was pierced through the back by the spirit ball, and its body could no longer maintain its materialized form, instantly disintegrating!

These two consecutive penetrations happened in just a short moment. Before Lastiros could react, the Spirit Orb was already in front of him!

boom!!!

The weakened beam of light struck Lustiros's chest, and the magical shockwave exploded the moment it touched him!

"Pfft~!"

After being hit by the shockwave, Lustiros coughed up blood and was blasted off the edge of the stage by the aftershock.

His body slammed into the arena wall, and he lost consciousness and passed out.

Just after Lastiros lost consciousness, the silver needles that were about to touch Ron turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.

Then, Ron in mid-air retracted his six eyes, and the flow of everything returned to normal.

pat~

Ron flipped over lightly and landed firmly on his feet in the center of the ring. He casually brushed the dust off himself.

Then he brought his mouth to the tip of his right finger and blew away the wisp of blue smoke.

At this moment, everyone in the arena, from the judges in the front row and the other eliminated contestants in the audience to the contestants in the waiting area, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The outcome of the match almost shut them down. Just a second ago, Lastiros was in complete control, but the next second he was blasted out of the ring and fell into a peaceful sleep.

"What...what kind of magic is this?!"

After a brief silence, the Yajima councilor stood up, his face filled with disbelief.

"When did Ron learn this kind of magic? This isn't some kind of shaping magic at all!"

Speaker Crawford, who was sitting in the center, had his previously barely suppressed smile freeze.

He stared unhappily at Ron in the ring, and out of his inner turmoil, he accidentally plucked a small tuft of his beard.

His relaxed restrictions on these business partners were completely crushed by outsiders?!

Eric, sitting in the audience, felt his pupils dilate unconsciously, and a bead of cold sweat quietly slid down his forehead.

He recalled the scene of being instantly defeated yesterday, and compared it with the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Fortunately, he wasn't affected by the magic; if he had used it yesterday, he might still be unable to get up now.

Several seconds passed before the referee on the floating platform snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, raised the magical megaphone, and loudly announced, "Ron White wins the third elimination match!"
